Materials for Manhattan Projects

Grading and bed prep start under the surface. Illinois Rock Supply delivers the soil, fill and base materials that get a yard to grade before anything else goes down.

Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil, dark and silty. Spread it for lawns, final grading and bed prep.

Garden Soil is a blended mix for raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas. It holds moisture through a hot Illinois summer.

Fill Dirt raises grade and fills low spots before a base course goes down. Use it to build up the pad, then cap it with CA-6.

CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It is the Illinois base for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines. They bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Washed Sand is torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Ground and Conditions in Manhattan

Water is the driver here. Rain, snowmelt and heavy summer storms land faster than the ground takes them.

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the soil runs to heavy silt and clay with clay-rich till inland. That ground sheds water rather than absorbing it, and flat lots have little fall to move it along.

Soakaway and drainage work needs clean washed stone that lets water pass. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, or CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone used alongside CA-7 for bedding, drainage and concrete work. CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Work the season. Base, driveway and paver jobs run from the spring thaw into late fall.

Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.

Frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring across this part of the state and leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains. Build your base coarse enough to drain, and let the ground dry before you compact.
